Proteomics Impact on Cell Biology to Resolve Cell Structure and Function

Abstract

The acceleration of advances in proteomics has enabled integration with imaging at the EM and light microscopy levels, cryo-EM of protein structures, and artificial intelligence with proteins comprehensively and accurately resolved for cell structures at nanometer to subnanometer resolution. Proteomics continues to outpace experimentally based structural imaging, but their ultimate integration is a path toward the goal of a compendium of all proteins to understand mechanistically cell structure and function.

Keywords: cell structure; cryo-EM; cryo-electron tomography; molecular/virtual microscope; proteomics.
